Other projects are in the works, too. The developer behind Napa’s Oxbow Public Market has plans for a similar food market in Oakland’s Jack London Square. The market is slated to open in fall 2016 and will take over the 32,000 square feet on the first floor of the building, while the second floor will be improved later to support the market, according to Annie Sciacca of The San Francisco Business Times.

And building has already started on the Brooklyn Basin development, which will add 3,100 homes and 200,000 square feet of retail on the Oakland waterfront, just south of Jack London Square.

There are more Oakland developments in the works, but you get the picture. Development and new construction of all types are heating up Oakland. A great city is only getting greater and economically stronger with each passing day.
